The company has an excellent mapping system, which is much more tested than Apple's new version. In fact, Nokia's maps are a strong second to Google Maps.

Using Nokia's web app we were able to find a good amount of coffee shops and points of interest around us. Nokia's maps support layers, traffic, public transportation directions, and a host of other useful features.
